No, because CC does nothing special to support that use case. However, the default behavior might be good enough.
All of CC's processing uses its database. The only thing that requires the book to actually be present is reading the book. If you remove the SD card containing books, opening the books will fail. Same is true for magazines.
There are some potential problems. The first is that there is nothing that enforces your separation. Sending a magazine to CC while the "books" SD card is installed will work fine, and there is no mechanism to later move the book from one card to another. The second is that there is no built-in mechanism where CC shows you only books for which the files are available.
The first can be overcome by you being very careful.
The second can be overcome to some degree if you provide a tag or custom column value to separate the books into their two libraries. An easy way to do this is to use calibre's virtual library feature and then allow CC to group on that information. See the FAQ answer
How do I see/use my calibre virtual libraries in CC? for more information on how to do this.
